ROB ANDREWS (BROOKLYN, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
I met a minotaur ten years ago.
My sister taught me that you can make your body a hole, and remarkably, repair it again. My teacher showed me that great art can be unremarkable in its materials or its gesture.
My dad lives in the desert inventing imaginary non-profits in his underwear, yelling at my mom for giving him less spaghetti sauce than he deserves.
America ate my dad and my sister. Or they ate it and shit it out. Or it shit them out. That's why I make art. To eat it. Let it eat me. Shit myself out. To make the minotaur's American art. Let it shit me out.
I create situations and gestures that reduce our mythology in order to emancipate it. Divergent and contrary layers of the story always emerge.

LEAH ARON + TYMON MATTOSZKO (NEW YORK, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
In making art, I employ my body, primarily, as the focal point—a stage—and at different times add the use of sound, video, movement and commonplace found objects to create narratives. My performance pieces incorporate the themes that are integral to my work, and include sex, violence, ethnic identity and the onerous challenge of navigating gender norms and societal expectations. As an artist, I am empowered to appropriate and thus take control of the pervasive media images and cultural messages that assault the senses and drive us to covet that which undermines our true potential.

HOLLY FAUROT + SARAH H. PAULSON (BROOKLYN, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
For the past seven years we have been collaborating on performances that focus on movement as a language of basic human interaction. These works serve as non-linear autobiographical documents. The collection and comparison of our shared and unshared personal experiences are translated and re-assessed through the use of multiple videos, chance improvisation, sound, and the choreography of the breakdown of time.
We are constantly reframing ourselves and our perceptions through timed site-specific movement exercises on camera. The recorded results link the human experience and the event of performance, serving both as filtered documents and as actual video components placed within the live works.
We’d like to share our epiphanies, moments of hopelessness, debauchery, victories, whirlwinds of energy, and secret exchanges through these intimate spectacles. The performances are a celebration and a reminder of everything that can happen all at once. We seek to bring humanness and the body to the public in its most shimmering form, whether it is through a triumphant sensory experience or a grotesque yet celebrated vision of reality.

STATEMENT:
"...To provide alternatives to a cold and cruel world... to use the
different bits of reality to create a new reality..." - Cornel West
from interview
The Free Bouncy Rides are a man in a soft, blue fish mascot costume, holding a framed sign that reads, "Free Bouncy Rides." Continually bouncing his knees up and down, he sits on a NYC subway platform bench, enticing strangers to be bounced on his lap. This piece is a
response to aging. I don't want to get old. Moving from childhood into adulthood, we are all expected to make certain sacrifices and accept new responsibilities. A few examples are to start a family, cultivate a career, or live more conservatively. From these pressures, I've
regressed to the interests and entertainment of a child, hence you can call this regression art. At the same time, I've chosen to retain some of the unsavory elements of adulthood within this work. The child's world (i.e. goofy, rainbowy, and playful) is married to the often dark
world of adults (i.e. sexual, deviant, and creepy). Both worlds are expressed in the Free Bouncy Rides at the same time. I think when these two worlds are mixed together rather than experienced independently, they express who I am at this time or who I want to be.

AMERY KESSLER (NEW YORK, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
I construct a participatory scenario that allows for voluntary artful interplay, interaction, communication, and coexistence. In this case, the scenario serves as a present experience and an abstract metaphor. For example: rolling a ball back and forth in a gallery is an actual experience of play, as well as a metaphor for a relationship’s communication. The meaning, actions, objects and people are interconnected. They are drawn from, overlap, and reunite with the everyday playing out or performance of life. I find it necessary to continually find new ways of arriving at a place we have been.
BIO:
C. Amery Kessler is a multidisciplinary artist whose work resists categorization while acknowledging convention. His practice employs concepts of solitude, harmony, play, and social innovation. Kessler regularly builds upon a personal connection to athletics, music, construction trades, and pedagogy to form a scenario that is situated at the seam of spectacular and mundane existence and perception.

MARNI KOTAK (BROOKLYN, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
It is extremely difficult, some would argue impossible, to communicate an authentic personal voice in today’s contemporary world where the endless simulacra of experience seems to engender a waning of all affect and real meaning. Faced with this contemporary issue, I am most concerned with the question of how one can have and convey a real experience. And furthermore, how do we know and hold onto what is real when our lives are constantly mediated, produced, or numbed by the power of the spectacle?
Through my Found Performances, I utilize the embodied performative event to express my real emotional experience in as authentic a way as possible for myself and the audience, attempting to somehow transcend pre-determined, primarily production-driven, social roles. While fully aware of the challenge and inherent contradictions in this endeavor, I determine to do it anyway, documenting both my successes and failures in this process as my art.
BIO:
Marni Kotak is a multimedia performance artist who lives and works in New York City. In her recent body of work, Found Performances, Kotak utilizes multimedia in live re-enactments of scenes from her life. The goal in these works is for Kotak to relive the emotional experiences in as real a way as possible, thereby achieving a transformative catharsis for herself and audience members who have likely gone through similar or related experiences.
Recent Found Performances include Third Grade, exhibited as part of the censored Plan B, 2006 Brooklyn College MFA Thesis exhibit, and Sandbox, Radiator, and Big Hair exhibited at Artists Space in conjunction with Performa ’05. The entire space of Found Performances is created as realistically as possible to point to the original setting in which the life event occurred, utilizing any media that is available and appropriate. Themes center around the deep knowledge shared by families, close friends and lovers, including emotional issues, abuse, family recipes, traditions and sentimental objects.
Kotak’s work has been featured in the Performing Arts Journal, the New York Times, the Village Voice, NY Arts, New York Press, Art New England, and more. In 2006, she was one of 18 graduating artists from Brooklyn College’s MFA program, whose thesis exhibition was shut down and censored by city officials, and who subsequently filed suit in federal court for First Amendment violations. She now lives and has her studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn, with her white pet rat Daisy.

JODIE LYN KEE CHOW (QUEENS, NY, USA) + ZACHARY FABRI (NEW YORK, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
JODIE LYN KEE CHOW:
My recollections come from a childhood reared in the Caribbean, at the edges of standardized Western culture, where daily struggle causes those standards to drift in odd ways. In some ways my idyllic Jamaica no longer exists. An immigrant's memory of their country is both frozen in time and lives a life of its own, and perhaps comes to represent something else entirely. My work is a struggle to pinpoint that fleeting image of Jamaica–full of strange politics, raw nature, and wondrous paradox. It is this desire for the idealistic landscape I once saw so much of that intrigues and invites me to interact and play with it.
Jamaican discourse is obsessed with distancing itself from the so called “third world”. The accumulation of Western goods carries a political and social intent. Ones own obsession of consumption has informed my own process where objects whether functional or not infiltrate a space, questioning its purpose or function. My versions of these things are replicas of forms found in nature or commodities that accessorize the environment of which is my backdrop.
Humankind’s interaction with nature is an issue I can’t ignore. The peace and serenity is no longer a vast subliminal and pure space. As manufacturers and places of commerce embark upon the untouched land of wood and water for the purpose of making life easier, the landscape changes. One may consider this as convenience and progress, but sometimes its not. Instead, it is a form of exploitation and destruction of peoples’ tradition and their land’s natural resources. The environment is altered. This interaction is the starting point for my process. I am captivated by the natural environment outdoors and want to personally interact with it. The landscape and child’s play is the inspiration for my performances or my sculptural interventions.
The scenario of the ever-changing moments and things alter the reading of that site, consequentially giving it some history, a frozen moment in time. By inserting my re-fabricated sculptural objects that may be intrinsic to an environment, I question its meaning and its placement. The manmade and the natural are juxtaposed amongst each other. Objects both pre-fabricated and re-fabricated are introduced and re-interpreted in the same place. Witnessing both an old-fashioned lifestyle and the more sophisticated ‘Western’ customs has made me observe an array of things that were once simple yet practical and things sophisticated and new. There are versions of things that are both symbolic and mysterious in as much as the real against the artifice co-existing in a space that was once pure.
Most of my videos and narratives combine performance, with either ready-made objects or my sculptures or both. The sets are in confined spaces as well as the outdoors. These environments contain fragments from the natural world whether in rural to city, suburban to urban. The objects and their associated functions are blurred and re-interpreted by the character’s un-natural and improvised actions of which I perform. Examples of these include the sophisticated businesswoman who drinks water from the ceiling, the athletic swimmer who swims on the floor, the aspiring dancer who dances with a water hose, the flower thief, the housewife who is attacked by the water hose, and more abstract performances where I am not visible due to being entrapped in the structure- animating it within nature. These scenarios stem from my own personal history with the perspective of a young naïve girl at play. She adapts to the environment that is constantly changing, blending in and exploring a space new and familiar. Ultimately resulting as idiosyncratic and romanticized views I investigate the subject, the object, their placement and the interplay between them.
ZACHARY FABRI:
My work is an exploration of various global cultural systems. With the viewer, I seek to create a disruption of thought, an interruption of our comfortable pattern of comprehension. It is exactly this shift that I am most interested in. The intersection of themes such as race, class, religion and popular culture, are explored, deconstructed and twisted. Often the idea dictates the medium. Lately I my practice has focused on photography, objects, and video. As a starting point in my work, I often appropriate recognizable systems and tropes, which provide a conceptual foundation for framing the work. Often I use my body, in live performance and video, as a major component in the work. Context becomes a crucial factor. Whether it is a specific country, or a local community, the work is often contingent upon this environment. Similarly, many images and actions are dislocated and recontextualized for greater critical impact. Many themes and ideas arise from my local community, from everyday experiences and activities. Ultimately, my intention is to foster wider discourse on issues that are often overlooked and discarded.

JILL MCDERMID (BROOKLYN, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
I like to be in a tableau, not just a spectator standing in front to contemplate the image.
In my favorite work, I create an installation, an environment, within which I make a performance. Then, I lead the audience from one environment to another, making performances in each space, which create a full story at the end.
My performances are always autobiographical, but not in an obvious sense. They are stories that unfold from my emotions, in a way that I hope other people can respond to.
Lately, I have been performing outside of the United States, and I will occasionally create a performance that is political. The reaction, again and again, is that the audience is surprised to see an American making such political statements, but not only that – a woman making political work.
My work ranges from simple : peeling an apple with an onion hidden inside as a metaphor for my life, seeing my experiences in my mind in reverse as I peel to the core – and elaborate : installations that use many media, from Super 8 film to video projections, sound affects and smells.
For me, the audience is always an integral part of the piece. I like to communicate with them, I never pretend they are not there, and I am gentle with them as I bring them into my world, even just for a little while.
I should also mention that have been running a gallery for Performance Art in Brooklyn, the Grace Exhibition Space, with Melissa Lockwood, since August, 2006. We have hosted artists from around the world, artists from New York City and from the public schools in Bushwick.
Bringing Performance Art to the city has been a vital goal for years. Performance Art is my passion, it’s my obsession and it’s my life.
Best,
Jill

MARK STAFFORD (BROOKLYN, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
The Performances in this series are endurance projects intended to clearly define situations in which, to different degrees, we all engage in.
I feel that as a culture we are so inundated by how efficiently we produce and how much we consume that we rarely able to follow our personal thoughts and feelings. We work to live, and live to work. None of us like to admit our role in propagating this culture of consumption, I know I don’t, but recognizing that we actually have to devise strategies to disconnect from it allows us to begin to question if we really identify with the uniforms we routinely wear and the acquisitions we have made, or if identity, culture and existence nurtured by the things we cannot define.

JEN ZAK (BROOKLYN, NY, USA) + KRISTEN RHEA VAN LIEW (BROOKLYN, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
JEN ZAK
Alan Kaprow once stated that performance is active everywhere: "in stomachs, or freeways, in compost heaps, through fax machines, or at the work place." It has no definite beginning or end – "the line between art and life should be kept as fluid, and perhaps indistinct, as possible."
There is no boundary between performer and audience. There is no such thing as a solo performance. The "fourth wall" does not exist. Performance is happening everywhere all the time, whether one acknowledges it or not. My performance is the audience's performance - they are the stars.
KRISTEN RHEA VAN LIEW
I am primarily interested in the intersection of body and object, work of art and viewer, viewer as performer. The last few years have been spent investigating my familial history, personal past and relationship to the south, having grown up in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as notions of femininity and what it means to be a "lady" in today's society. Typically this has been through characters that are related to women that I knew as a child, and via a didactic relationship with those that spend time with my characters in both life spaces as well as art spaces.

PETER DOBILL (BROOKLYN, NY, USA)
STATEMENT:
My work focuses on the body in actions. In these actions, mental and physical planes of existence are created, establishing autonomy in endurance, physical movement, and structure. With my body, I alter and construct my vessel of experience, intrinsically connecting and emptying myself to a singular moment and time. Within these moments, I can then seek to communicate, focusing on energy exchanged between the audience and myself.
My practice is two-fold; live public actions performed for an audience and private actions performed for the camera. Both practices operate in complimentary forces, with actions relating in physical, structural, and conceptual intensity.
It is through my practice of actions that I look to establish a new direction for performance practice, one that provides a maximum perception of the senses through the complete conception of live and video elements.
